T
he vibrant rainbow-like hues of the fl owers are at the core of this design's inspiration—
a refraction and dispersion of color, each a celebration women's many wonderful triumphs
and current challenges. Each hue is clustered to enhance its vibrance, reminding us to live
colorfully with joy and love and motivating us to strive for greatness and growth.
Using the sustainable mechanic of chicken wire, the stems have support and are in water, which
allow for botanicals to experience a long vase life. I established line and the skeleton of the design
with foliages before arranging the fl owers in color groupings, starting at one end of the arrangement
with cool hues, transitioning through the center and fi nishing on the opposite end with warm hues.
